    Jean Roi Cap Provincial Rosé

    Jean Roi Rosé

    Jean Roi Cap Provincial Rosé 2023

    Soft floral cherry and blueberry nose. The palate is reminiscent of a fruit salad with its apple, melon, berries, cherries and strawberry flavours. All at peak ripeness, rounded but balanced by bright acid. Overall, there is good focus and body with a long, leesy tail that adds another textural nuance.

    Appealing mélange of strawberry, raspberry and youngberry on the nose. Vivacious, bright and juicy, with those same berry fruits also found in the mouth. Lovely freshness and succulence from lively acidity, superbly balanced by body and breadth. The wine finishes on a light yet firm chalky grip coupled with good dimension and concentration. Lovely dry tail and resolved finish.

    Jean Roi Cap Provincial Rosé 2020

    Good rainfall and favourable climatic conditions during the growing season allowed for good flowering and fruit set. Most vineyards saw a significant increase in yield, and the ripening period was nicely spread out due to the cool, moderate conditions during summer. Good healthy fruit with beautiful flavours and analyses make this 2020 vintage one of the most outstanding and enjoyable vintages in recent years.

    Jean Roi Cap Provincial Rosé 2016

    Extremely hot and dry conditions prevailed throughout the summer. The vines proved just how resistant they can be when rainfall levels were the lowest on record in almost 70 years. The dry persistent heat resulted in very early fruit ripening, and while acid levels were lower, the fruit flavours and concentration were superb.

All at peak ripeness, rounded but balanced by bright acid. Overall, there is good focus and body with a long, leesy tail that adds another textural nuance.

    Winemaking Notes

    This premium, elegant rosé is made in a similar style to the rosés of Provence, France. Grapes were handpicked into lug boxes and transported to the cellar where they were cooled overnight. Only the best quality free run juice was selected and settled before spontaneous fermentation by indigenous yeast, lasting between 2 to 5 weeks, occurred in both stainless steel tanks and older French oak barrels (11%). The wine spent 2 months on the fine lees before being blended and bottled.

    Tasting Notes

    An appealing wine, from its pale coral colour to its strawberry- and peach aromatics.In the mouth it is simultaneously light, bright and vivacious while also being gentle. There is a lovely subtle, understated interplay between the red fruit notes of strawberry and raspberry and the fresh acidity which adds crisp life. The delicious tang and juiciness is balanced by a structured mid-palate and defined tail. Ideal for summer.

    Tasting Notes

    Pale blush-pink hue – partridge eye.Gentle fruity nose with stone fruit (nectarine and white peach), overlaid with a delicate white blossom note.The same flavours can be found on the palate: appealingly vibrant and fresh nectarine, peach and apricot. Delightful succulence with some soft red berry flavours apparent too. The wine is well structured with a fleshy mid-palate and long, rewarding aftertaste of lemon zest and a touch of lees. With its palate weight and mouthfeel, along with its vivid fruitiness, this is a good food wine.

    Instant appeal from the pale copper pink blush colour which continues with its alluring aromas of peach blossom and honeydew melon.
